LEAD STORY Among the pricing abuses that came to light as a result of the July settlement of a lawsuit against Amer- ican Medical International hospitals separate hospital im St. Petersburg agreed to lower some of the prices it was charging, including $50 each for Advil and Tylenol tablets. THE CONTINUING CRISIS — The Equitable life insurance company recently printed 2.5 million copies of a 349-page document intended to help its policy holders decide whether to hold a public sale of Equitable stock. Stacked on top of each other, the documents would be nearly 20 miles high, beating by about 200 feet AT&T's 1983 printing order explaining its divestiture to its shareholders. -+ Local Detroit legislator Gil DeNello proposed a ban recently of the Super Soaker water gun but S Back down on his opposi- go control of real guns. Asked by the Deiroit News to explain the apparent contradiction, DeNello said, “Real guns are intended to kill. (The Super Soaker) is intended as a toy.” ~ The nudist organization Ameri- ¢an Sunbathing Association, along with several individual nudist camps, initiated a drive recently to donate used clothing to organizations for the homeless and to dislocated victims of the Los Angeles riots. — On July 1, the city of East St. Louis, DL, began municipal garbage pickup for the first time since 1985, when the city ran out of money for it. Mayor Gordon Bush that in HOROSCOPES November 22 - 28 ARIES — March 21/April 20 If you are involved in creative work you should be very successful. You will be full of enthusiasm about making home improvements and/or decorating enhancements, You may even be taking sleps.to purchase a new home. You will develop a closer bond to your partner as mutual plans are discussed. TAURUS - April 21/May 21 It's unlikely that this will turn out to be a significant week, but you have no difficulty in dealing with every day matters. Now's the right time for going ahead with any business trans actions you have in mind. Dis cussions going on at home in the evenings make for a happy atmo sphere. A younger family member will ask you for advice GEMINI - May 22/June 21 By this time you're probably full of anticipation for the upcoming holi days. Many Geminis have creative hobbies, and yours is most likely in full swing now as you love to give holiday gifts that you created your self. This will keep you quite busy, but you will have some extra time to share with close friends and family. CANCER - June 22/July 22 Many Cancers experience the “holi day blues.” They start to wonder who really cares for them and what life is all about, anyway. There's always a danger of being so crabby and gloomy that nobody wants to be around them. Don't let this happen to you! Loosen up, you could have a lot more fun! LEO - July 23/August 23 Money matters are going to be much emphasized in the coming days Negotiations at work should turn out in your favor. Your bright ideas make you more creative and roman- tic. Although you hate doctors, you must make that dental appointment before it’s too late! VIRGO — Aug 24/Sept 22 Keep long-range aims in mind and plan accordingly. It will be worth- while cutting down on luxuries in order to steer more cash into invest- ments. Virgos taking on marriage or parenthood will have good luck. Try to be a little more personable LIBRA — Sept 23/Oct 23 You feel enthusiastic about achieving an exciting week with people from the past reappearing in your life Adventure fills your evenings! SCORPIO ~ Oct 24/Nov 22 Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Put more gumption into your efforts to steer your career ahead. This is a time when hopes might come to nothing because you're relying too much on wishful thinking. Confusion abounds in legal matters, dealings with in-laws, edu- cation and travel. SAGITTARIUS — Nov 2¥Dec 21 Rely on your own resources for pleasure. Steer clear of friends as they might ask for favors which you are unable to grant, this might lead to mutual embarrassment. If there's anything special that you want to do, Wednesday would be a good time for new adventures. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 The company of friends will be a boon if your morale needs any boost- ing. But if you are discussing plans, minor problems will have to be over- come before they can be set in motion. Try to keep sudden impulses under very tight control, especially on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. A very interesting Aquarius will enter your life (and confuse it a bit, too). AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Life has much to offer you, and you will become bolder and quite ambi- tious. You should attempt to spread your interests and aims much further than you've been doing lately. This would be an excellent time to keep up on the contacts you've recently made. Something you said to cheer up a friend serves as inspiration as well as the comfort you'd intended. PISCES - Feb 19/March 20 You really must try to unwind and take it easy or you will become irri- table. Don’t let a workmate’s behav- ior upset you. If you have been look- ing for a new job, you could hear something during the early days of the week which helps steer you in the right direction. Remember that nothing comes easy and you have to fight for what you want YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK The next 12 months: You really must learn to stay focused when dealing with business matters. Your tendency to leave things until the very last moment will backfire early this year unless you change your ways. It would be wise to con- sult with a financial expert. Ro- mance will have a great deal of sig- nificance for you, especially at the beginning of the New Year. There will be a lot of travel in store for you throughout the year.
